Between the end of May and the beginning of August there is a chance to see 'Luminous Noctilucent Clouds' at Cape Arkona.
These are ice crystals at a height of over 80 kilometers.
If the sun is between -6° and -16° below the horizon, the low-lying clouds are no longer illuminated by the sun and the 'Luminous Noctilucent Clouds' can be observed with their fine and also constantly changing structures in the night sky.
A beautiful sky spectacle for clear summer nights.
However, it remains a relatively rare event to be able to observe the clouds under optimal conditions - in any case it is always worth a try.
A good time to observe them is about 1h after sunset and about 1-2h before sunrise.
The photo shows 'Glowing Noctilucent Clouds' photographed at Cape Arkona with the 'New Lighthouse'. In the photo you can also see very nicely the difference between deep clouds and the 'shining night clouds'.
The photo is as a large format print a nice reminder of a stay at Cape Arkona and at the same time an incentive to travel there!
